미 연방 검찰이 할리우드 배우 로리 로클린(왼쪽)과 펠리시티 허프만과 톱 코치 등 수십명을 예일, 스탠포드, USC 등 명문대 입시 부정으로 기소했다고 뉴욕타임스가 속보로 전했다. 이들은 수백만 달러의 뇌물을 주고 자녀를 대학에 입학시킨 것으로 드러났다. 적발된 입시부정 관련자는 학부모 33명과 스포츠부 코치 등 대학 관계자 13명, 그리고 비리의 주모자인 대입 컨설턴트와 대입 시험 관리자 등 총 50여명. 주모자는 오렌지카운티의 대입 컨설팅 비즈니스를 운영해온 윌리엄 릭 싱거. 2천500만 달러 입시 비리 스캔달. '미국판 스카이 캐슬' 사건.
